Embranchement de La Nouvelle - (Aude River)

Early plans of what would become the Embranchement de La Nouvelle - (Aude River) were drawn up by Thomas Telford in 1816 but problems with Eastleigh Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Embranchement de La Nouvelle - (Aude River) Trust.

Information about the waterway

The Embranchement de La Nouvelle - (Aude River) is a large river and is part of the Embranchement de La Nouvelle. It runs for 0.80 kilometres from Canal de Jonction - Aude Jonction (where it joins the Embranchement de La Nouvelle - Canal de Jonction (Midi - Aude)) to Aude - Robine Jonction (where it joins the Embranchement de La Nouvelle - (Canal de la Robine)).

The exact dimensions of the largest boat that can travel on the waterway are not known. The maximum headroom is not known. The maximum draught is not known.

The Aude is only traversed for 800 metres (870 yd) between the two canals however on leaving the Canal de Jonction it is necessary to navigate upstream first before turning and coming back downstream against the opposite bank to the Canal de la Robine in order to avoid shallows caused by silt banks in the middle of the channel.
